Noby Noby Boy Coming Tomorrow on PSN

I recently bought Flower on the PS Store and it’s a lot of fun. It’s the most interesting game I have ever played on the PS3. I love it.

Come to think of it, Noby Noby Boy will be released on Feb 19th, tomorrow! Well, my apologies for the delay to those who have waited the game. Matching the release date with other territories was tougher than we thought, but the good thing is that I could have some interesting experiences in the game.

With Noby Noby Boy, you can send a message to other players while playing without going to the XMB, and the received messages are displayed on the body of Boy. Checking the game spec, I sent a message requesting approval to add a friend and my request was accepted instantly, and I received a message. Below is an image of the message shown on Boy’s body.

Surprise! It says, “welcome to paradise.” It’s such a worn-out cliché, but I like it! Exchanging messages with people via online games has become nothing special, while I don’t play games much, let alone online, receiving this message really delighted me. It was even somewhat impressive because I didn’t expect it and of course it proved that the messaging function was working.

Oh, I almost forgot about the game. Yes, the concept is to stretch Boy. But with that said, there are many other ways to enjoy this game and they are totally up to you. Again, that is where the difficulty of describing the game lies. This game may let you run into something totally beyond your imagination or may not at all. You may totally hate the unexpected or you may love it as I did. I hope the players can find those unexpected elements fun. Now, let me show you a video that will help you understand the game a little better, lest you are getting more confused with the ambiguity.

I love games off the beaten track. Quirky, artistic, creative games are my favorites. That said NobyNobyBoy might have surpassed even my tastes. I don’t get it. The gameplay is a bit of a mystery but the appeal of the game is even more of a mystery. I guess this one just doesn’t click for me. Ah well, thanks for all the unique games but sadly I may have to pass on this one. I’ve got to go play Flower again.

While I appreciate these lil quirky games even if I don’t enjoy them generally (sorry I found Flower just completely uninteresting) I just wish there were more old fashioned arcade games on PSN. A nice platform shooter in the vein of Turrican II but with co op play would suit me fine. The Wii gets Cave Story which I’m not a big fan of as such but it’s closer to what I’d like to see more of.

Thx for taking the “play” literally in your games and really challenge the players to actually “play” Day one purchase and i hope you get enough sales to add as many features as you want in your game. Ohh yeah those green frogs sold the game for me.

Can’t wait to buy it tomorrow! Oh and we all want Beautiful Katamari also PLEASE! We will buy it day 1 if you would kindly port it over. :D We hope your listening to your loyal fans, and Thank You for another great, crazy, fun game!

This looks like the sorta game Harold and Kumar(who first went to White Castle and then Escaped from Guantanamo Bay) would find utterly irresistable. Looks like the developers were on crack when they made this weirdness. Y’know, you might get more people to buy it if you actually show some gameplay so we can see how the game is supposed to be played(or at least one way it can be played)
